The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you about how we collect, use and disclose personal information when you interact with our website (https://sketchdeck.ai/) and with our products and services offered online through https://sketchdeck.ai/ (the “Services”). This privacy policy relates to all of our activities, unless we have provided you with a separate privacy policy for a particular product, service or activity.

In this Policy, we use the word “Customer” to refer to anyone who has subscribed to or paid for use of our Services. We use the word “you” to refer to any other individual user of our Services, such as an employee of a Customer, or an individual browsing or using our Website and web-based resources.

Please review this privacy policy carefully. By submitting your personal information to us, by using our website, or by otherwise accessing or using the Services, you consent to our collecting, using and disclosing your personal information as set out in this privacy policy.

Meaning of Personal Information

“Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number and country of residence.

Personal information does not include information where there is no serious possibility that it can be used to identify an individual, whether on its own or in combination with other information, or personal information that has been anonymized or aggregated such as to be considered anonymized information or no longer personal information under applicable laws.

Notice to End Users

If you are a user of one of our Customers, the Customer controls your information processed within the Services, including your contact information, billing details and other records. Please contact the relevant Customer for any questions about your personal information.

Your Consent to Collection, Use and Disclosure

The primary basis on which we collect, use and disclose your personal information is with your consent, unless otherwise permitted or required by law. How we obtain your consent will depend on the circumstances, as well as the sensitivity of the information collected. Subject to applicable laws, your consent may be express or implied, depending on the circumstances and the sensitivity of the personal information in question. If you choose to provide personal information to us, we assume that you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as outlined in this privacy policy.

Typically, we will seek your consent at the time your personal information is collected. Where we want to use your personal information for a purpose not previously identified to you at the time of collection, we will seek your consent prior to our use of such information for this new purpose.

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information at any time by contacting us using the contact information within our Website. However, before we implement the withdrawal of consent, we may require proof of your identity. In some cases, withdrawal of your consent may mean that we will no longer be able to provide certain products or services. Please also note that certain data will remain within the Services for us to fulfill its contractual obligations, even after you withdraw your consent.

If you provide personal information about another individual to us, it is your responsibility to obtain the consent of that individual to enable us to collect such information from you, and to use and disclose his or her information as described in this privacy policy.

Sharing with Other users

We make tools that facilitate collaboration between various users and organizations. When you use the Services, we may share information with other Customers and their users.

For collaboration: You can create content, which may contain information about you or your users, and grant permission to others to see, share, edit, copy, and download that content based on settings you or your administrator (if applicable) select. Some of the collaboration features of the Services display some or all of your profile information to other Service users when you share or interact with specific content. For example, when you comment on a video or page, we display your profile picture and name next to your comments so that other users with access to the content understand who made the comment.

If you are an administrator for a site or group of users within the Services, we may share your contact information with current or past Service users, for the purpose of facilitating Service-related requests.]

Sharing with Third Parties

We share your personal information with third party service providers who perform some functionality within the Website and Services on our behalf, such as customer service, technical support, hosting, data storage and processing, and research and analytics]. We also share your information with third party service providers who provide products and services that we use to operate our business, such as payment processing, email services, marketing campaigns, job applications and alerts, employee management, surveys and contests.

If we provide your information to service providers for our provision of the Services, then we require that service providers maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and keep your personal information secure. We also require that they only use your personal information for the limited purposes for which it is provided. When our service providers no longer need your personal information for those limited purposes, we require that they dispose of the personal information. In some circumstances, we may permit our service providers to retain anonymized or statistical information that does not identify you. We do not authorize the service providers to disclose your personal information to unauthorized parties or to use your personal information for their direct marketing purposes. If you would like more information about our service providers, please contact us using the contact information on our website.

Retention of Personal Information

We will maintain your personal information for as long as they are needed, or as required by applicable laws, regulations, or government orders. After the relevant amount of time has passed, we will delete your information. The general retention periods for data that we hold are as follows.

Customer Data: We retain Customer Data for as long as an account is active, and for a reasonable time after account termination. We will retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, and to support business operations.
Services Improvement and Development: Where we retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps to make that information non-personal, non-identifiable and anonymous. We only use this information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services, and not to specifically analyze personal characteristics about you.
Information you share on the Services: If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of your information and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your team members or other users to make full use of the Services.

We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.

Security of Personal Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable physical, organizational, contractual and technological security measures with a view to protecting your personal information from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. We have taken steps to ensure that the only personnel who are granted access to your personal information are those with a business ‘need-to-know’ or whose duties reasonably require such information.

Despite the measures outlined above, no method of information transmission or information storage is 100% secure or error-free, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. In the case of a breach of security safeguards, we will act promptly to mitigate the risks and to inform you where there is a real risk of significant harm, or as otherwise required by law.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your identification, passwords and/or any personal information in your possession for the use of our website and/or the Services. Always be careful and responsible regarding your personal information. We are not responsible for, and cannot control, the use by others of any information which you provide to them and you should use caution in selecting the personal information you provide to others through our website or the Services. Similarly, we cannot assume any responsibility for the content of any personal information or other information which you receive from other users through our website or the Services. We cannot guarantee, or assume any responsibility for verifying, the accuracy of the personal information or other information provided by any third party.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any information that you provided to us has been compromised), please contact us immediately using the contact information on our website.

Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information

Individuals have a number of rights concerning their personal information under global privacy laws. You may make a written request to access, correct or delete any personal information about you that we have collected, used or disclosed, and we will provide you with any such personal information to the extent required by law. You may also challenge the accuracy or completeness of your personal information in our records. If you successfully demonstrate that your personal information in our records is inaccurate or incomplete, we will amend the personal information as required.

Where applicable, you may be entitled to additional rights, including: (i) the right to withdraw consent to processing; (ii) the right to object to unlawful data processing, under certain conditions; (iii) the right to erasure of personal information about you, under certain conditions; (iv) the right to demand that we restrict processing of your personal information, under certain conditions, if you believe we have exceeded the legitimate basis for processing, processing is no longer necessary, or believe your personal information is inaccurate; (v) the right to data portability of personal information concerning you that you provided us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions; (vi) the right to object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you, under certain conditions.

Please note that such rights are not absolute. There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal data that we hold about you. In the event that we cannot accommodate your request, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

When you exercise your right to deletion of your personal information, we will delete your personal information, subject to some instances where your personal information will be maintained for us to fulfill our obligations under contract to our Customers.

We may require that you provide sufficient identification to fulfill your request to access or correct your personal information. Any such identifying information will be used only for this purpose. We will not charge you any fees to access your personal information in our records without first providing you with an estimate of the approximate fees, if any.

International Transfer and Storage of Information

Personal information may be processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage third party service providers to fulfil the purpose for which we collected the personal information. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country. While such information is outside of your country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country.

Our practices regarding your personal information will at all times continue to be governed by this privacy policy and we will continue to comply with all applicable legal requirements.
